According to an article published by Harvard Medical School, intermittent fasting is a solution to hormonal imbalances: “Between meals, as long as we don't snack, our insulin levels will go down and our fat cells can then release their stored sugar, to be used as energy👍
In someone who isn't insulin resistant at all, this is true, but this is for women who are having some insulin resistance, which is common in women who are peri and post menopausal. The insulin resistance isn't about just NOT eating. It is about what you eat and when. The target audience for this content is not someone who just needs to refrain from snacking between meals. That is not going to do anything. Most women who are desperate to lose weight have already stopped snacking between meals years ago, as well as reduced calories severely. That Harvard study is not addressing the unique challenges women face.
My hysterectomy happened in 1999 and conventional Western medicine did me dirty. My health completely fell apart. Not that it was so great beforehand! Anyway, what I learned at that point, I expressed like this: I used to think that hormones were like individual seesaws on the playground. Estrogen levels go up and down. Insulin levels go up and down. Adrenal hormones go up and down. What I have learned since my crash is that hormones are more like a woven fabric each thread influencing the others. Pretty much, that’s what you just said. Thank you for the confirmation! I’ve been on a 20 year journey to balance the mess that was made in 1999.
Mine was 2011, total radical hysterectomy and opharectomy. Sooo many things the medical profession never told me! My body changed so much that I didn't recognize myself for a long, long time.
Extra estrogen carried in fat is also a risk factor in breast cancer. My oncologist told me that the best way to prevent a BC recurrence was to lose some weight. That was a great incentive.
I have been water fasting since Thursday night. I've done a juice fast for twenty one days before, bit this is my first time water fasting. Your video about what happens during an extended water fast has really helped me get through the tough times. I have actually felt changes taking place and different parts of my body heat up and cool down with the healing process. And I was aware of being really happy at work yesterday while helping others. Very cool. Thank you, Dr. Mindy. I am new to your channel for about three weeks now and have been soaking up past videos.
Ive been working out for 11 years and been fasting for 3 years, i do a m9nk fast every sunday and dont eat till tuesday postworkout. I have two workouts in during my 35hr fast and when i feed i am always in a surplus. Im getting stronger, looking leaner and making gains.
@@amperage8032 not because of the fast, its what happens after a fast. When we are fasting we are not losing muscle or making muscle, we are just maintaining the muscle we have and using our fat as a fuel source ones our glycogen reserved is finished.. we go through gluconeogenisis around the 35 hour mark but not lose that much muscle hen switch back to using fat as fuel. Its when we refeed is when we are making muscle especially post workout where ive read your body will make up foe the loss muscle tissue and will help absorb protein better and im tsking EAA before my meal for better synthesis and more of it turning into muscle. Im usually in a surplus. Everyt time i feed. Because if i under eat, i wont be making as much gains i wanted. Im not fasting for the muscle gain or fat burning part of it. Im doing it for autophagy and enhancing my memory when i review for my nursing exam here in the philippines. I will start making youtube videos and explain my reasoning
Alain Mancilla that’s what I was hoping you would say and thanks for explaining. I fast for the same reason (autophagy), but wanted to hear your explanation. Your original comment caught my eye. I’m also a weight lifter and general fitness person so eating takes a big role in my day, but I also want the fasting health benefits. Putting them together takes planning.
And to think, here I am fighting the urge to break my fast beforehand when I happened to come across this video. 🤣 Well, now I have more motivation to finish my fast. I will be watching this other videos. Thanks Mindy.
My hormones already balanced with a 14:10 IF. I have since progressed to 20:4, and it is the best for now, compared to 14:10, 16:8 or 18:6. I am not keto, though carbs are not overdone now because of the shorter eating window. I love green leafy vegetables sauteed with tofu and sweetened with plantains (natural sweetener!). I don't fast on weekends. I am now 102 lbs. and 19.9 BMI as a 62 year old post-menopausal woman and I am feeling better with the 20:4 IF.
Aunty Mindy is such a meticulous planner to guide all of of us step by step.....How wonderful it is to experience the journey and see the results. That is what creates a solid belief in what she teaches. Doubt goes out the window.......Trust prevails.....and TRUST is THE most important factor that makes us come back for more........It is so reassuring.
For a month I've been doing 16 to 18 hours and my period is usually 4 days early but it's right on time. Learning about when to fast has made it easier. I know when it's safe or not and it makes me feel better too.
By fasting intestines may clear a lot. After cleaning and eating mainly clean foods, blood may become stronger. When blood becomes better, Ormone glands like all organs in body may work better
Thanks Dr. Mindy. I have been using your videos for encouragement and advice on losing weight. I've found the more I practice the more comfortable I am with fasting and my rebounds are healthier now. I can't believe how fast I am losing weight by throwing in an occasional 36 or 48 hour fast along with my regular intermitant fasting routine. It is intense with so much growth hormone in my system but I am equally happy with the accelerated results. Nothing worse than feeling stuck while dieting and longer fasting is the answer to rapid and consistant weight loss.
Hi Dr., I have researched a lot of experts on fasting including my hometown champ Dr. Jason Fung, and while they are all great, I want to say that you are by far the best at disseminating practical information that we can use to motivate through fasting. Please, if you have a way that someone can ask questions, I would appreciate a possible dialogue.
Hi Dr. Mindy, I love your videos! Yes, I love the big videos and then you follow up with smaller more detailed videos. I am 53 years old, 50 pounds overweight, Im menopausal and my hormones are out of whack. I’m going to start following your plans now that I know what and how to do it. Thank you so much!
I love listening to Dr. Mindy! I love her science, her enthusiasm and so much more! Buuuutttt, whatever that is in the background, white rectangle with the "play" symbol, is soooooo distracting to me. It keeps drawing my eye, when I really want to focus on Dr. Mindy. :(
Good morning Dr. MIndy - You look beautiful and full of life as usual!! Thank you, I did find this very helpful. Following and sending people to your informative and valuable videos from Santa Fe, NM.
@@DrMindyPelz Hi Dr. Mindy. I'm loving your videos and have also referred quite a few friends and family . Please can you do a video about fasting and ulcers? I really wonder if there's any relationship between the two. I mean, does fasting cause stomach ulcers? Thank you.
How can I get restorative, deep sleep during peri-menopause? I am doing intermittent fasting, but not keto. I wake up frequently, and have some warm moments.
Thank you so much, Dr.Mindy, I am in my late 40ties, no children, no contraceptive ever, with a normal menstrual cycle. Now that I am almost 50 I want to know wen is it the best time to have my hormones tested? Much appreciated. 💫
I already love u. So blessed with such a powerful teacher..so passionate an so deeply knowledgeable. Amazing tools to get my life back. Thanku Dr mindy
Absolutely LOVE!!! Yes, the big picture helps so much!! Wow that video was packed with amazing info!! So good! Also, love your energy and positivity!! Thanks!!! ❤🤗
I can't wait to figure out how to balance my progesterone and testosterone. I felt more like a woman before I lost 70lbs and got hit by the menopause train...I'm only 50...1 never had much of a sex life but a decent libido when I was fat...now my body looks better but my body doesn't seem to want it...I feel so betrayed by my own body.
Eat eggs, liver. Hormone replacment therapy. Unfortunately, if its menapause, hormone replacment therapy. Do your research. Use reddit. Same for men. If your testosterone is fucked, TRT. You can only do so much through good diet and exersice when it comes to those hormones. Best of luck. < 3 Also fasting is cool.
@@avatar1867 I've been Keto with intermittent fasting almost 2 years..if I cant figure out how to get back in balance naturally....I will stay an old crone. I had an easy time with peri and with my menopause year..I am not gonna mess my body up with fake hormones . Thanks for your advice though.
Have you considered HRT? I use bioidentical hormones and I sleep great, my girls parts are very responsive and my sex drive is better than when I was 35. I am 56 and most of the time my husband can't keep up. I eat keto and have lost weight but it is the HRT that has made a difference for me, especially the testosterone.
@@l9878 I'm glad it has been so beneficial for you.... u haven't slept this good or felt this healthy in decades since I lost weight. Except for that part just died...if I had more issues I probably would consider it with great trepidation but I don't. I really am confused about what to do with myself. Maybe I just need to accept what is. It's not like I'm actively "busy" that way.
Dr Mindy you are saving my life! I am suffering with pcos and start IF 16:8 4 days ago. My weight is 220lbs and my goal is 154. I lost 4 lbs in those 4 days which i know is water but still i am keep going. My naturopath dr gave me some supplements to try to balance my hormones so lets see how all this will work. Thank you once again for teaching us how to take control over our life. Regards from Toronto 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤❤
Are you following any diet or exercise program? I also have PCOS and now pre-diabetic. I started 16:8 about two months ago. I don't follow a diet because first trying to get used to the fast, and just trying not to snack a lot which I tend to do. I don't feel like I have lost weight or inches.
@@clau9516 yes i do not eat carbs exept i am in hormon building week, and i dont eat sugar. Mostly what i eat is green vegies, berries,avocado,eggs,meat,cheese,and i also make keto bread so it heps me to replace carbs. In 11 days i lost 7lbs.
@@K.R-w5r thank you. I live my carbs so it's really hard to give up. I have been trying to eat less snacks when it's when I get my most carbs. I try not to have any soda or juice. I didn't know there was a hormone week. I already do take Provera to help raise my progesterone though.
Dear Dr., During the hormone building days, what foods and quantity do you recommend? Can you do a video on this topic? I'm finding it a bit difficult to switch from fasting to feasting during the hormone building days. I also shot up by 5Kgs weight over the non fasting days (days 11-15). Feeling very depressed right now that it's working in the opposite direction for me.
I eat normally with intermittent fasting since teen years, not because I found it on the internet but because thats what my body has always told me. doesnt help with hormones, I have hyperandrogenemia with accompanying hirsutism and acne, Im 30, and my bmi is 18.5
Hi Dr Mindy I am reading Fast like a girl and am particularly interested in eating according to your cycle. What would be really helpful for me would be meal ideas for each phase rather than food ideas eg what I eat in a day during the power/nurture phase or dinner ideas for the power/nurture phase. Do you already have some videos about this or would you be willing to make this kind of series? Thank you so much for your work! Best wishes, Voy
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You're such a blessing! I now have a better understanding of how and when I should do my fast. 7 types of fast sheet please.
Thank you Dr Mindy for all your videos. It has been live chinging for me. Could you do a video about fasting and fertilyty ? How to fast and what to eat at what time when we are trying to conceive, especially after 40. Thank you so much !
Here is the link to join my Reset Academy, where several live instructional resets are offered with membership - Join here: bit.ly/3LgE5my Free FB group bit.ly/Resetters
I am very over weight (never been thin) 50 year old and my period has been irregular off and on for the last 5 years. I know my irregularity has more than one cause; stressful life stuff. I would like some help deciding weather I should focus more on weight loss or hormone support. I feel like I need to do a little of both. I also have issues on and off with my thyroid my whole life. I feel longer fasts would be beneficial to repair but I also feel I need the hormone support. I feel better when I eat some sweet potato and squashes, ect. Thanks for all you do.
I feel like Im stuck on OMAD (not that Im complaining, I love it!) because I put weight back on the moment I dial back. The very day I go back to a slightly larger eating window I put on weight that takes me another 3 days to shift with OMAD. So I feel like Im stuck there or else I will never shift the weight! I don't mind at all but Dr Mindy seems to suggest that we need cycles of fast and feast to balance hormones. :(
If you are still growing, I would advise you to eat as much meat as you can. Skip the sugars and junk food but eat some steaks. Your bones are made out of protein and right now your bones need as much as they can get.
Thank you so much for the knowldge u share. Is there any possibility tht despite fasting 24 hr insulin resistance doesn't improve? Kindly adress the concern..thank you
God bless you Dr Mindy. God bless everyone with in depth knowledge & analysis. Can we drink warm water during water fasting for internal cleansing &can we add to warm water lime for speeding cleansing. As you said about warm water bath to burn liver fat at evening. Please clarify.
Is intermittent fasting the same as 16:8 fasting? And is it okay for a peri-menopausal woman to fast every day during Day 1 - 21? Or is every other day better? This was a very helpful video.
Dear Dr. Mindy. Thank you so much for your videos... Very educative. I have recently been diagnosed with underactive thyroid. Can intermittent fasting help me lose weight? As I am struggling to lose weight. Many thanks. Lilian (from London).
Dr. Mindy, thank you so much for your amazing videos. I am 59, had my total hysterectomy (my internal sex organs all out) last year, feeling fine, was postmeno already, taking HT, already practising IF 6/18 since 4 month, normal weight, doing strenght training and fast walking 10 k regulary. Could you please tell my target fasting method to maximise my benefit ? I love watching all your videos, best wishes from Hungary☺
Hi good afternoon Dr. Mindy I'm on this journey to fast and heal my body so that I can become a better healthier me. So my question is can still take supplements while I fast. I'm 33 years old. Pre diabetic, high blood pressure and PCOS/PCOD. So with all that being said what is the correct way should I take the supplements or just let my body do what it does best without adding any chemicals.
@Sam Starr ok thank you I'm happy to know that because I wouldn't want to keep putting these supplements in my body when it really does not need any help to restore itself
Hi Mindy, I was diagnosed with HR2 positive breast cancer caused by my hormones. Do you have any suggestions for me because I refuse chemo. I want more natural approaches. I am fasting 24 hours.
Has there been any discoveries on this relative to hormonal acne? I suffer from this and am wondering if, once the fasting helps balance hormones, will it help treat and prevent or level out hormonal acne?
Hi Dr Mindy! I was thinking if you have a video about the relation between the hormonal acne and fasting, I've heard it's very good for that hormone imbalance specially after the 20's. I hope you can answer
for those three trolls who gave the thumbs down - Why are you Watching this program??? I wouldn't dream of wasting my time watching something I wasn't interest in. You have no lives? Even if I didn't like a program I stumbled upon and Would just move on to something that interest me. your just sad ...

What does losing weight have tk do with balancing hormones
Plz plz plz make a video on fasting while battling with pcos
Check out Dr Jason Fung and Dr Ken Berry. They have both discussed PCOS 💚
My hysterectomy happened in 1999 and conventional Western medicine did me dirty. My health completely fell apart. Not that it was so great beforehand! Anyway, what I learned at that point, I expressed like this: I used to think that hormones were like individual seesaws on the playground. Estrogen levels go up and down.

Pretty much, that’s what you just said. Thank you for the confirmation! I’ve been on a 20 year journey to balance the mess that was made in 1999.

Thank you so much for your work!
Best wishes, Voy
Great video - love the high level stuff to then drill down each element later - perfect 👌🏾🙏🏾👍🏾😜💚
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You're such a blessing! I now have a better understanding of how and when I should do my fast. 7 types of fast sheet please.
Thank you Dr Mindy for all your videos. It has been live chinging for me.
Could you do a video about fasting and fertilyty ? How to fast and what to eat at what time when we are trying to conceive, especially after 40.
Thank you so much !
Also I wpuld like to ask is phytoestrogens help or inhibit ovulation ?
Great! I’m learning so much! Thank you!

How does fasting affect hormones if your thyroid was removed? What considerations need to made?
I would love to do your next fasting as a group
I bought the fasting like a girl book but I love to hear you Dr Mindy

I am very over weight (never been thin) 50 year old and my period has been irregular off and on for the last 5 years. I know my irregularity has more than one cause; stressful life stuff. I would like some help deciding weather I should focus more on weight loss or hormone support. I feel like I need to do a little of both. I also have issues on and off with my thyroid my whole life. I feel longer fasts would be beneficial to repair but I also feel I need the hormone support. I feel better when I eat some sweet potato and squashes, ect. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you Dr Mindy

Such a great video :) I like the high level and deep dives
God bless you. Thank you so much 🙏❤️
I haven't heard back about the resetting group
Thank you for the video! I'm working on all that. My question is, what is best for adding muscle as I go along?
I feel like Im stuck on OMAD (not that Im complaining, I love it!) because I put weight back on the moment I dial back. The very day I go back to a slightly larger eating window I put on weight that takes me another 3 days to shift with OMAD. So I feel like Im stuck there or else I will never shift the weight! I don't mind at all but Dr Mindy seems to suggest that we need cycles of fast and feast to balance hormones. :(
Love this
Hi Dr. Mindy😊
Big picture methodology is the way 2go!
I'm trying to use fasting to increase the man hormones and help me grow taller to, I'm still in my growing Yrs as a teen
If you are still growing, I would advise you to eat as much meat as you can. Skip the sugars and junk food but eat some steaks. Your bones are made out of protein and right now your bones need as much as they can get.
Thank you so much for the knowldge u share. Is there any possibility tht despite fasting 24 hr insulin resistance doesn't improve? Kindly adress the concern..thank you
God bless you Dr Mindy.
God bless everyone with in depth knowledge & analysis.
Can we drink warm water during water fasting for internal cleansing &can we add to warm water lime for speeding cleansing. As you said about warm water bath to burn liver fat at evening. Please clarify.
yes....enjoy it
This was great. Thank you ☺️

Is intermittent fasting the same as 16:8 fasting? And is it okay for a peri-menopausal woman to fast every day during Day 1 - 21? Or is every other day better? This was a very helpful video.
Dear Dr. Mindy. Thank you so much for your videos... Very educative. I have recently been diagnosed with underactive thyroid. Can intermittent fasting help me lose weight? As I am struggling to lose weight. Many thanks. Lilian (from London).
Great video
Thank you
Love from india..Tq you so much
How to fast during summer @Dr.mindy pelz
As always... it helps!💝
Dr. Mindy, thank you so much for your amazing videos. I am 59, had my total hysterectomy (my internal sex organs all out) last year, feeling fine, was postmeno already, taking HT, already practising IF 6/18 since 4 month, normal weight, doing strenght training and fast walking 10 k regulary. Could you please tell my target fasting method to maximise my benefit ? I love watching all your videos, best wishes from Hungary☺
Hi good afternoon Dr. Mindy I'm on this journey to fast and heal my body so that I can become a better healthier me. So my question is can still take supplements while I fast. I'm 33 years old. Pre diabetic, high blood pressure and PCOS/PCOD. So with all that being said what is the correct way should I take the supplements or just let my body do what it does best without adding any chemicals.
@Sam Starr ok thank you I'm happy to know that because I wouldn't want to keep putting these supplements in my body when it really does not need any help to restore itself
❤Good video!!

What if one is hypothyroid but tests show normal. Doing everything one can possible do but weight not budging. Will fasting help with hypothyroidism?
I really like this
Hello Professor
Hi Mindy, I was diagnosed with HR2 positive breast cancer caused by my hormones. Do you have any suggestions for me because I refuse chemo. I want more natural approaches. I am fasting 24 hours.
Has there been any discoveries on this relative to hormonal acne? I suffer from this and am wondering if, once the fasting helps balance hormones, will it help treat and prevent or level out hormonal acne?
Hi Dr Mindy! I was thinking if you have a video about the relation between the hormonal acne and fasting, I've heard it's very good for that hormone imbalance specially after the 20's. I hope you can answer
Very interesting ❤
